Well would you look at this pretty baby!
Bear run has recently gotten some outstanding and beautifully colored horses from a breeding ranch that was shutting down. However, the horses are all in poor condition because their previous owner didn't have the money to care for them properly. Rather than sending these beauties off to the shelter, they were picked up and brought here to Bear Run where we hope to adopt them out to loving new owners who will be able to nurse them back to health and give them a happy new home!

The boy is one of the bunch that was better off as far as health goes. He's underweight and had some over grown hooves that have since been trimmed, but he is extremely skittish.

To adopt him I would like you to tell me how you would go about gaining his trust. You are also welcome to decorate your form if you would like to

Day 1

Nyra sighed and watched as her new addition galloped about the round pen. He didn't look angry, he appeared to be absolutely terrified. I walked toward the fence and he leaped back, nearly hitting the rails. " Calm down boy" I murmured softly as I back away. Oh what was a going to do with him. Suddenly he stopped and for a moment, with the sun shining down on him and his head raised up in the sky, he looked simply regal...like a king. That was it, his name would be King, so his confidence could start with his name

Day 5

The fifth day and now that King had settled in a little, I needed to figure out how to gain his trust. First he would have to get used to me, so I stood by the fence, it wasn't helping anything because King looked just as frightened as before. I turned away and leaned against the fence, maybe he wouldn't mind of I wasn't looking at him. After sitting there for almost an hour, I began to slide down the fence until my rump hit the ground. I figured I could just sit there for awhile. Slowly I devoted off to sleep against the round one rails. I awoke to a soft snuffling by my ear, I had to resist the urge to spin around and look at him. I felt his nose on my back, softly prodding me and then heard the sound of reseeding hoofbeats. At last today was a start.

name: Dare
halter colour: Black with red clasps
plan to gain his trust: I would start by placing food in his paddock, and making sure that he sees that I am the one who is feeding him. Then I would sit about five feet away from his paddock fence and bring out a book. His trough is on the fence line so he will have to get within five feet of me to eat. After about two days I would move a foot closer, and so on every two days until I am face to face with Dare as he eats. I would continue to read and make no sudden movements. Then on the 12th day I would stand by the fence with the food, so that he has to come up to me to get it, at this point he will have gotten used to my pressence during his feedings, then as he eats I will tentitively touch his forehead, then I will start to stroke his forehead and then move to his neck. At this point I have made a bond with him if he is willing to let me touch him, and I will come to see him more often, at first staying outside of his paddock, then going just inside until I can stand inside his paddock with no fear from him.

plan to gain his trust:
Well before I even went near him I'd need to stock up on lots and lots of treats. After that I would spend a couple days just hanging out near him, not to close to make him uncomfortable but just enough so he knows I'm there and not causing him any harm. Once he's used to my presence I would gradually work my way closer to him until he's okay with me being next to him. Now this part is where the treats come in handy. Horses are curious animals by nature so by offering him a treat on my hand I would be able to have him touch me on his own terms. Once he's fine with taking treats from my hand on his own I would begin to move closer to him while still offering a treat and after he's taken the treat praise him and try to touch his nose or face. Over time he would begin to trust me and our level of training would intensify.

plan to gain his trust: I would take this plan slowly as not to scare him. First i would let him get used to my place. After he's comfortable here I would start to try giving him treats to try to gain his trust.
